MySQL Connector/Python Release Notes
Syntax:
id = cursor.lastrowid
This read-only property returns the value generated for an
AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous
INSERT or
UPDATE statement or
None when there is no such value available.
For example, if you perform an
INSERT into a table that contains
an AUTO_INCREMENT column,
lastrowid returns the
AUTO_INCREMENT value for the new row. For an
example, see
Section 5.3, “Inserting Data Using Connector/Python”.
The lastrowid property is like the
mysql_insert_id() C API
function; see mysql_insert_id().
